U.S. health officials have announced a new rule allowing individuals with HIV to receive kidney and liver transplants from donors who are also HIV-positive. This change follows research indicating that such transplants can be performed safely.

The initiative aims to expand opportunities for organ transplants and enhance the rights of those living with HIV, ultimately increasing the chances of saving lives.
